The Things with Wings Challenge!

After this wet and warm weather there are lots of winged-beasts on the move. Whether you enjoy photographing butterflies and their host plants or recording bird calls in your backyard, this challenge is for you!

Record 10 or more "things with wings" (i.e. butterflies, birds, bats) before Easter and go into the draw to win an iTunes/Google Play gift card to purchase Field Guides for your phone.

There are a number of field guides that can assist you in your future identification pursuits including applications for your smart device such as Frogs of Australia, Snakes of Australia and Morcombe’s Birds of Australia field guides. Field guides have colour photos, recordings of various mating and advertising calls as well as descriptions on habitat and distributions maps to assist you in sharpening your ID skills.

Alternatively winners may choose to select a voucher for native seedlings. There are a number of native host vines, shrubs and small trees that you might like to plant to provide additional foraging habitat for locally significant or threatened moth and butterfly species living on your property and surrounds. If you wish to get in touch with any local community native nurseries to see if they have any specific host plants in stock, you can find their details here: https://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Environment/Trees-plants-and-gardens/Community-Native-Nurseries.
